String summary "Monthly, stratified-random sampling is conducted year-round in Tampa Bay, Charlotte Harbor, Northern and Southern Indian River Lagoon, Cedar Key, Apalachicola Bay, and Jacksonville using a 183-m large haul seine. Sampling is stratified on somewhat arbitrary geographical boundaries, within which the hydrographic and habitat parameters are more similar than the estuary as a whole. In some estuaries sampling is further stratified on the presence or absence of overhanging vegetation. This monitoring effort provides long-term data on relative abundance of estuarine fish and select invertebrate species inhabiting shoreline areas. This project involves data collection, collection of biological samples, management of a long-term database, and basic data summarization. These data and biological samples are then used for FIM research projects on estuarine fish species, populations, and communities (outlined in Level II: Fish Monitoring). The data and biological samples are also used by the FMRI stock assessment group in developing stock assessments for recreationally and commercially important fish species; by other FMRI research programs (e.g., Aquatic Health, Fisheries Genetics) and by research programs from other agencies.";
